The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom. So God replied, “Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies—I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! And I will also give you what you did not ask for—riches and fame! No other king in all the world will be compared to you for the rest of your life!”

| In a dream, God invited Solomon to ask for anything he wanted. Solomon asked for wisdom to carry out the huge task God had given him, a task that felt overwhelming. God was so pleased with his answer that he promised to make Solomon not only wise, but also the wisest man who ever lived! Besides that, God promised him what he did not ask for—riches, fame, and a long life. Do you ask for the things God wants to give, such as wisdom, love, and strength to carry out his will? See what happens when you do. |
